Scouting Stanford

Under first-year head coach David Shaw, Stanford is riding the nation’s longest winning streak -- a school-record 15 in a row, including the last 10 by a national record 25 points or more -- after its 65-21 home demolition over No. 22 Washington this past Saturday. Its 7-0 start this year is the school’s best since 1951 and its six-game road winning streak is its best since 1991-92.

The Cardinal is in the Pac-12’s Top 3 in most every offensive statistical category and in the league’s Top 5 in every defensive ranking. Nationally, Stanford’s offense is second in scoring offense (48.6 points per game, first in Pac-12), third in passing efficiency (180.1, first in Pac-12), ninth in total offense (504.1 yards per game, second in Pac-12), 17th in rushing offense (219.4, second in Pac-12) and 25th in passing offense (284.7, seventh in Pac-12).
